WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Al Clancy (O’Connell) mistakenly agrees to look after his ten-year-old nephew Karl (Minogue-Lee) for the week, which jeopardises his job and his home. In an effort to save his unfulfilling job as a poster boy, Al and Karl steal the family camper-van and embark on a cross-country tour across Ireland, but they soon discover that it’ll be much harder than it seems to stay calm in each other’s company…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Dave Minogue’s semi-autobiographical film is a funny and endearing Irish road trip comedy with showcases for tons of new local talent, as well as a major cameo from former Boyzone member Keith Duffy.
